I'm navigating through this round world while living a square life, and it fits exactly as it should.

I’m a Disney Side @ Home Celebration Host

by Melanie Adams on February 2, 2014

I’m so excited because a couple of weeks ago I was notified that I was chosen to host a Disney Side @ Home Celebration. This means that through a partnership with Disney Parks and MomSelect, I would be receiving a free celebration kit with which to host a party. Last week I got my party kit and was blown away by the generosity of the sponsors.

This sticker let me know something special was inside my box!

I knew the kit would contain lots of items to help me host a great party, and I knew it would contain a special hostess gift for me. However, I had no idea just what was in store.

I was thrilled when I opened my box to find a carry-on sized piece of American Tourister luggage, the official luggage of Disneyland and the Walt Disney World Resort as my hostess gift.

American Tourister is the official luggage of Disneyland and the Walt Disney World Resort.

Their official hash tag #PackMoreFun really came to life when I unzipped the bag to find it stuffed full of wonderful things to help me plan and host my party. There were decorations, plates, napkins, cups, cupcake liners, balloons and games, all to use for my party. There were also more hostess gifts for me like measuring cups from ABC’s The Chew and cookie cutters, which will both also come in handy for party preparations. There were party favors for adults and kids such as runDisney ChEar cards, runDisney rubber bracelets, runDisney/ESPN bumper stickers, HP photo cards, stickers, temporary tattoos, Craisins and Mickey and Minnie Valentine’s Day posters. So much party-planning inspiration was inside that luggage!

So much awesome was inside the box!

I’ve already started putting together several ideas for my party, including my menu. My menu will feature items to represent each of the four theme parks at the Walt Disney World Resort (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom), Disney Cruise Line, and a couple of the Walt Disney World Resort Hotels. I’m so excited to host this party, and I plan to make it a great one!
